Hair Extension Specialist Insurance Benefits, Highlights, and Coverage
As a hair extension specialist, you're a licensed expert in hair extension techniques. You offer services that help clients look and feel their best. However, despite your dedication and attention to detail, accidents can still happen. These incidents, either in the salon or during a service, potentially lead to claims against you.
One of the most cost-effective ways to protect yourself is by having hair extension specialist insurance. Our comprehensive insurance coverage protects your career and identity, giving you peace of mind as you work.
Hair extension specialist insurance is designed to protect hair extension specialists from the expenses of liability lawsuits and claims against them. A hair extension specialist is a beauty worker. They work closely with clients to help them achieve their beauty goals.
While the beauty industry can be an exciting and rewarding career, it comes with a certain amount of risk to the client. If something goes wrong during treatment and a client is injured, they could hold the cosmetologists liable. They would have to pay for the client's compensation. Hair extension specialist liability insurance will cover a claim against a specialist.
The expense of a liability lawsuit or claim against you could be astronomical. Liability insurance acts as a safety net to protect your finances. Elite Beauty Society offers a liability insurance plan specifically for hair extension specialists. This coverage helps protect you if something goes wrong while working with a client.
Hair extension pros pay close attention to their clients. They treat them with the best care. But, people still make mistakes. Accidents happen to anyone and can be a big liability at work. If a client is hurt in your salon chair or during a service, they could legally force you to pay compensation.
These days, hair extension specialists are more likely to face a liability lawsuit or insurance claim against them than ever before. Protecting yourself, your career, and your finances is an important investment in your future. Hair extension specialist liability insurance is the protection you need.
EBS's insurance plan for hair extension specialists covers multi-angle liabilities. We help protect you from general and professional liabilities and take it a step further. We provide the coverage you need to protect yourself, your workspace, your reputation and your identity.
Let's look at some examples of how hair extension specialist insurance could help protect you in the future:
Example: A client comes in for a hair extension service. While applying the extensions, you accidentally use an adhesive that the client is allergic to. The client experiences a severe allergic reaction, resulting in scalp irritation and hair loss. After seeking medical attention, the client hires a lawyer and holds you responsible for their medical expenses. Hair extension specialist insurance from EBS could help cover the cost of that lawsuit.
Example: A client comes in for a hair extension appointment. As you’re adjusting the salon chair, it suddenly collapses, causing the client to fall and injure their back. The client is in considerable pain and requires immediate medical attention. The client demands that you cover their medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs after treatment. In this situation, general liability insurance would be needed to help cover the cost of the lawsuit.

Hair Extension Specialist Insurance Coverage Details
Professional & General Liability:
$2 Million per occurrence
$3 Million per year
Personal Injury and Advertising Injury:
$2 Million
Identity Theft Protection:
$25,000
Professional liability is a blanket statement for the potential risks directly related to your occupation. These are industry-specific incidents that could cause harm to a client. Professional liability can also be known as errors and omissions. In other words, professional liability is something a professional does wrong while working. For a hair extension specialist, one risk is burning a client's skin with adhesives or chemicals used during the extension process. Another risk is damaging a client's hair, leading to breakage or hair loss.
Professional liability insurance helps protect a worker if they do something wrong that causes harm to a client. Professional liability insurance's protection is an essential component of overall liability insurance. If you're covered with professional liability insurance, you don't have to worry about the cost of a liability lawsuit against you. If you make a mistake and your client gets hurt, professional liability insurance helps to keep your finances intact.
If professional liabilities are directly related to your occupation, general liability is the opposite. General liabilities are non-specific to a career or vocation. These risks are universal in any industry. Another way to consider general liability insurance is slip and fall coverage. The incidents covered under general liability can happen in any industry and facility. The most common are trips, slips, and tumbles.
General liability coverage offers protection from lawsuits involving universal risks or incidents. If a client falls and injures themselves in your salon, general liability would protect you from compensation claims. General liabilities are common and can happen anywhere. So, protection from them is essential to hair extension specialist insurance.
In today's world, more than word-of-mouth marketing is needed to be a successful hair extension specialist. Most beauty professionals today have a massive online presence. Almost every hair extension specialist uses social media to promote their business. They also use online banking to manage their finances and their website to reach clients. The internet era has given us an excellent opportunity to reach new clients and engage customers. But, it has also created the potential for loss due to identity theft. If you have any presence online, you are potentially at risk for hackers to steal your information.
Elite Beauty Society includes Identity Theft Protection in our hair extension specialist insurance policy. We want our policyholders to be well protected from every career threat. Most hair extension specialist insurers don't offer identity theft coverage. We make it a pillar of our policy. If you lose money due to an online predator, we offer protection to help you recoup your losses.
And that’s not all! Personal and Advertising Injury policy helps protect you if you’re accused of libel, slander, or false advertising.

Hair Extension Specialist Liability Insurance FAQs
With clients face-to-face, using adhesives and chemicals, there is too much accident risk not to have professional liability insurance. At the bare minimum, a policy should have generous limits provided for both General Liability claims, as well as, Professional Liability claims.
General liability is commonly referred to as “slip and fall” insurance. This is because there’s a liability to you as a business owner simply for allowing customers to enter your premises. If a customer trips over a loose tile or a cord in your salon and injures themselves, they can hold you liable for the damages.
Personal liability is often called “malpractice” insurance. This coverage provides provisions for injuries and other loss events that occur in the event you provide your service. If a product you used causes an allergic reaction on your client's scalp during a hair extension appointment, they may hold you liable for their injuries.
Absolutely. Hair extensions may seem tame. But, no matter where, when, or how many hours you work, you’ll use tools that can and have harmed clients.
While renting a chair at a salon, you’ll be an independent contractor. You're not typically covered under the salon owner’s liability policy.
That’s why it’s important to have your own coverage for any possible claim that arises in the course of providing your services to clients.
With a hair extension specialist liability insurance policy from EBS, you’ll have:
- $2 Million limit for both Professional Liability and General Liability claims, up to a $3 Million Annual Aggregate.
- $2 Million in Personal Injury and Advertising Injury
- $25,000 in Identity Theft Protection
Many carriers out there offer claims-made coverage because it’s simply more convenient for them to do so. This means a claim has to be made while a policy is active in order for it to be covered. We don’t believe in not covering something that rightfully should be, so we offer occurrence form coverage. This means that, even if your policy is expired, you're covered. If a claim is made for an event that happened while your policy was in effect, you're covered. It’s just one small way we make sure we’ve got your back.
Absolutely. Even while still in school, you’ll be practicing your techniques face-to-face with real people.
The smallest mistake or accident can, unfortunately, lead to a claim being filed against you. Our student policies cost just $49 for a full year of coverage.

The State Board of Cosmetology in the state in which you want to offer services is the governing body that will provide licensure, usually upon completion of education and examination.
For example, the State Board of Cosmetology in Florida requires a full 1,200 hours in an approved cosmetology school and the successful passing of the state-issued examination in order to obtain a license.
The best resource for license information is the State Board, which governs the state requirements where you want to offer services. The process can be lengthy, so it’s best to get started as early as possible when you decide you want to move your license from one state to another. Some states do offer reciprocity for licensure, but this differs widely.
For example, according to the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, out-of-state licensees can fill out a reciprocity application and pay a fee in order to receive a new license. This is as long as they have proof of a current license, which has been active for three of the last five years and hasn’t been revoked or suspended. Different states often vary in their education requirements. You may need more training hours to meet your new state's rules.
